Beech

The most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles

From France, their beech is hard, durable and easy to work

With a homogeneous appearance, its light colour varies from yellow to pink

It is characterized by the presence of numerous small dark dashes

Stainless Steel

Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin.

The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance

The blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring re-sharpening

Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel.

Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent ...)

The classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shape

The Yatagan shape is inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, the toe up

The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding

Virobloc Safety Ring

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 06

Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding

In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport)
